List of orgs/people funded by ~EA to do research?
By david_reinstein @ 2024-12-07T03:19 (+16)
Has anyone seen a good list/presentation/data
- of individuals and organizations
- that are funded by EA-aligned or adjacent donors, foundations and charities
- that do a substantial amount of research (and are significantly funded to do this)
- (ideally) with the amounts of funding for (spend on) this research
?
I recall seeing this before but I can't find it. I did a presentation related to this a while back, but that's incomplete and out-of-date.
Organizations like Future of Humanity Institute, Global Priorities Institute, Rethink Priorities, GiveWell, Animal Charity Evaluators, Machine Intelligence Research Institute, Founders Pledge.
Wanted to try to source such a list (or related resources) before I work to reconstruct this on my own. (Considering using this for The Unjournal's potential plan to commission the evaluation of at least one piece of research from each organization.)
I started working on it within our Coda, see image below for context
And here's a take, just using Open Phil data and my ad-hoc judgment, as a start:
As a filterable Coda table

Hi David,
Giving What We Can has a database of effective giving organisations, and one of evaluators.

That's helpful as some of these are relevant. (But I'm looking for a list of 'orgs funded to do research'.)

Hi David, I'm working on a project that might be relevant to this - sending you a DM.

@Hamish McDoodles would this be a good source for answering this question?

FWIW the link to your forum post draft tells me "Sorry, you don't have access to this draft"

Thanks, my bad. Should have gone to https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/N3hsGxSPNMQS4wADy/should-the-unjournal-evaluate-1-research-outputs-per
Now fixed
